Slight Food Brag



Recommended Posts

So I am on the tail end of week 12 post op coming up to my 13th week and today I managed to eat 2 bites of steak! (about 1 tablespoon)

I brag because food has been hard for me everything other than fish and some turkey mince has killed me and made me sick!

Mum made everyone steak for dinner and I thought ok try a bite see how it goes….

It was good it feels a little heavy but thank the lord no puking and bad bad pain like when I tried beef casserole 3 weeks ago!

Not that I will be eating steak everyday but just a little smile on my face that maybe finally I am at the stage where I can start reintroducing meat into my diet and not just be eating fish because its all I could handle!

So I say woop woo! lol

hope this is an ok place for this post!

That’s sucks!

I was a massive steak fan before the op not fancy sauced up steak just how it comes meaty steak but everything was killer even chicken it wasn’t as hard but 1oz of chicken even takes me about 3 hours to eat!

When I tried minced lamb (don’t like roast lamb or anything its too fatty for me) pork and beef it all was so painful and I puked 1min later then felt the after waves of pain for a couple of hours so I just didn’t try to eat red meats again till just now!

Maybe it’s the cut of beef or how its cooked?

Hopefully you will get to grips on beef!

Thanks to the other 2 it’s strange the things that make you go haha yes now lol

I managed to eat 2 bites of steak!

Went out to dinner - 3rd time in 8 months don't llike to go out anymore cuz i question myself with portions. :mellow:

I had little bit of steak too, rest went home. steak was way to heavy for me.

I do stop when full, but i just rather not go out for meals - what a switch from before

save so much money, i could probably buy my own restaurent :D

I’ve not been out to eat at all yet no clue how that will work when I finally do!

We also don’t really have the take home thing here in the uk its pretty much if you don’t eat it its binned, so eating out and picking steak is so not ever on my menu again lol

Upside to taking home steak if you have a dog they are one happy pet! lol

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
